Miles and Endfcott,

Washington, June l9-The Sunday
Herald, which is regarded as an au-
thority on army matter, says to-day:
There is a matter in it is claimed and
believed by the army, excepting perhaps
n OF two of the staff bureaus, that the
secretary of war has committed an act
of great lDjusties. 1t will be re-
membered that when Secretary Endicott
made his last annual report, by reason
OF inadequate and imperfect informa-
tion. he commented upon General Miles
and his conduct of the Geronimo affair
IN Arizona In q way which that officers
friends considered markedly unjust.
General Miles has made a reputation in
his management OF Indian aft airs that is
%unequalled by any officer of the
army. He has successfully ended five
Indian wars, by the capture of the
hostlles, and has never been defeated in
action. With such q record as this, his
friends in the army and out of il, are
indignant that he should be thus cen.
sured under q partial knowledge OF the
fact. The matter was represented to
Secretary Endicott, and it is currently
reported that he promised to make the
amende in some public form. III he
has done SO, it has not been heard of"
said an officer OF rank ard position,
whom the writer asked. tsWe think it
very unfair and unjust, for what has hap
pened to General Miles might occur 10
any OF the rest of us. That officer he
unjnstly reflected upon, and when he
has learned the facts of the case the seq
tary makes no amende."
"What will be done?, was asked.
Nothing I presume. General Miles too
old and good a soldier to take any steps
that might appear to be insubordinate,
but his friends here are very restlve and
msy take some action without consult.
ing him.
